Vlogging isn't just about showcasing your day-to-day life or sharing information. It's about telling a story. Mastering the art of storytelling is a game-changer in the vlogging world. Take your audience on a journey, weave narratives, and make your vlogs engaging. Craft a beginning, middle, and end for each video. Use music, visuals, and your personality to create an emotional connection with your viewers.

 

Stay Consistent

 

Consistency is key in vlogging. Regular uploads keep your audience engaged and eager for more. Create a content schedule and stick to it. This not only helps you stay on track but also builds anticipation among your followers. The Infinix ZERO 30's reliability will be an asset in your quest for consistency, as it ensures you can capture high-quality footage whenever inspiration strikes.

Building a strong and loyal community of viewers is as important as creating great content. The Infinix ZERO 30's connectivity features make it easier to engage with your audience, ensuring that you can stay in touch with your fans effortlessly.

Beware ethical dilemmas and greenwashing in sustainability reporting, warns ACCA

                                        


Latest research from ACCA examines the ethical dilemmas regularly faced by accountants and other professionals involved in implementing sustainability reporting.

 

Launched to mark Global Ethics Day the resulting guide, Ethical dilemmas in an era of sustainability reporting, identifies the risks around ethics and independence associated with sustainability reporting.

At a time when the regulatory requirements for sustainability reporting are growing, the guide provides real-world scenarios, written in partnership with academics from Warwick Business School, for accountants and non-accountants to equip them to manage dilemmas often presented by:

·         Risks of greenwashing

·         Weak processes

·         Lacking technical knowledge

·         Compromises in objectivity and independence.

Further practical support is provided through a checklist of questions to drive better application of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code principles, including professional scepticism and curiosity. The guide aims to help users avoid consequences such as poor-quality reporting, including ‘greenwashing’, a loss of trust and faulty decision-making.

 

Report co-author Sharon Machado, head of sustainable business at ACCA, said: “We have a collective obligation to future generations to operate in a sustainable manner, both individually and as organisations, and it’s great to see more and more businesses embracing sustainability reporting. But we need to be alert to the risks and ensure quality and consistency. For professional accountants, this is an opportunity to provide strong leadership and insight, in turn helping to drive ethical and sustainability-focused decision making. This guide will help accountants and other professionals to create balanced reports that are a fair reflection of organisations’ performance and impacts.”

 

According to Head of ACCA Pakistan, Assad Hameed Khan, “the accountancy profession has historically demonstrated wide and deep technical competencies and a strong  ethical core in preparing, presenting, and assuring financial information. Similarly, those attributes are invaluable in reporting on sustainability. Most importantly, public trust in the profession is underpinned by robust global ethics standards, which in turn contribute to confidence in sustainability reporting.”

 

Report co-authors, Professor Lisa Weaver and Darren Sparkes, associate professor at Warwick Business School, said: “The scenarios contained in this report provide opportunities for individuals and teams to explore some of the ethical tensions that can arise in the complex arena of sustainability reporting. As professionals, we have a moral duty to uphold the ethical code and to champion good practice, within our profession and with professionals from diverse backgrounds, working together to enhance credibility in sustainability reporting.”

To mark Global Ethics Day this year, a Conversation Series kicked off yesterday in Karachi bringing together thought leaders for a panel discussion on the topic “Transforming Culture to Unlock Opportunities: Rethinking Norms and Overcoming Barriers”. Present at the event was former Minister of State for Investment and Founder of Nutshell Group, Muhammad Azfar Ahsan. The series continues in Lahore today and Islamabad tomorrow.

TikTok's Commitment to Well-Being: Supporting and Encouraging #MentalHealthAwareness in Pakistan

                                          

TikTok, the leading destination for short videos, is at the forefront of promoting mental health awareness, with a special emphasis on Pakistan's vibrant community. On World Mental Health Day and beyond, TikTok celebrates the resilience and courage of its users, reinforcing the message that we are "Better Together" when we prioritize mental well-being.

Pakistan's TikTok community is breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, sharing impactful stories and valuable resources. TikTok collaborates with mission-driven organizations globally, notably sponsoring the Rare Impact Fund Benefit with a generous $250,000 donation. The event, held on October 4, successfully raised funds and highlighted the importance of expanding access to mental health services and education for youth worldwide.

A global in-app survey revealed that 63% of Pakistani TikTok users find a sense of belonging on the platform, aligning with the global sentiment. Throughout October, TikTok invites its global community to participate in the #MentalHealthAwareness: "Better Together" campaign, sharing stories and well-being journeys.


Globally, related hashtags such as #MentalHealth, #SelfCare, and #MentalHealthAwareness have collectively garnered billions of views. In Pakistan, hashtags like #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthAwareness, and #DigitalHifazat have received 3.1+ billion, 1.9+ billion and 194+ million views, respectively, to date.

At TikTok, we understand the importance of fostering a supportive and inclusive community. Mental health is a topic close to our hearts, and we are dedicated to providing a space where users can find support, share their experiences, and access resources. We are 'Better Together,' and we encourage everyone to join us in promoting #MentalHealthAwareness.

In collaboration with Ola Doc and Digital Rights Foundation, TikTok has curated helplines accessible year-round on its platform in Pakistan, which can be accessed at the new Mental Health Awareness hub, which serves as a digital wellness resource center. Moreover, TikTok is continuously working with creators and organizations like Zindagi Trust, Shifa International, House of Wellness, and others to create awareness of mental health, talking about ways to combat depression and remain safe online.

Dr. Yasir Masood Afaq, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of House of Wellness said, “TikTok is playing a pivotal role in raising awareness about mental health. TikTok's massive outreach will go a long way to create an enabling mental health ecosystem.”

As a part of this initiative, DASTAK Women's Rights and Awareness Foundation has found TikTok as a fresh and creative channel to raise awareness and educate users on pivotal mental health issues and sexual and gender-based violence, allowing to break societal stigma and address these interconnections in a more profound manner.

Hira Amjad, Executive Director of DASTAK Women Rights and Awareness Foundation, said, “TikTok has emerged as a powerful platform for promoting mental health awareness, with its commitment to fostering a supportive community. We look forward to nurturing this partnership for a sustainable and violence-free Pakistan.”

TikTok remains dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of its community on and off its platform. The company encourages everyone to learn more about and promote #MentalHealthAwareness for a collective journey towards better mental health.
